Rahut Rissaya (2020)

Refreshingly different revenge drama

I was getting so bored of the same revenge storyline dramas so I was not too optimistic when I started this one. But I’m glad I did. This was a revenge drama done right. There was nothing overly excessive about it.... it was just done right. I loved the fact that the female lead was such a strong one. I loved that they finally showed a ML who didn’t shy away from his feelings... who was portrayed as being sensitive, caring from the get go. Bank played his role beautifully...he was a natural. I’m so glad it want the usual slap/kiss revenge dramas with a lot of hate and mistrust. Even the crazy female villains were toned down. There are lots of sweet moments between the leads... again a rare thing. I highly recommend this drama ...loved it

Underrated Drama!! I recommend it!!

This was a good drama. Though the plot line was just cliché like many other thai lakhorns, it was really entertaining and engaging. There are various factors that I liked and did not like about this drama. But overall, it was really good and great to watch.

Story:

It is the usual revenge drama. FL uses the ML to get her revenge. But there is no rape/non-con. The ML is not a brute who forces himself on her, he is instead a sensitive and caring guy. There is only one scene where he kisses her to shut her up and she slaps him. He immediately tells sorry after that as well. I loved the non-toxic relationship between the leads. There were various elements that I loved and kept me on toes. Her battle with her own aunt and cousin to get back her parents company on one side and other side had an entirely different villain who was the ML's father who's dirty secrets FL used to blackmail the ML into marrying her.

I loved that our ML was very strong and independent and had so many people around her that she could trust. I loved that our ML did not really swoop in to save her or help her in her own battle with her aunt and cousin. The FL's fight to get back her company was her own and the ML does not even know much about it for most of the plot. She marries him to have an income from the alimony and a place to stay. She needed a steady rock to begin and he became one even though it was a marriage cuz of blackmail.

Our ML on the other hand is crushed and sad to know his father's true colors but still loves him very much. Our ML's battle is mostly with himself, about his morality and his love for his father despite everything. Sure there were scenes where he became the knight in shining armor and saved our FL from kidnapping and murder and so on. But mostly they had their own fights while still falling in love with each other through the journey.

The story was well done. The villains were good. The character Jan was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and it was at least a good reason for her extreme reactions and behavior, unlike other female villains who are simply loud and boisterous and always shouting just to be a villain. Jan's character was shown to be like that cuz of her mental illness. All the other villains were comparatively toned down. what I did not like was the too much death in the drama. Like almost all the villains die. I feel like killing off Jan's character was unnecessary.

But the slow budding love between our leads was really nice and exciting to watch. It was really good. Our ML was smitten by our FL from the beginning but sees her differently when she blackmails him into marriage and then once again proceeds to eb smitten and fall in love. Neither the ML or the FL was stupid. They were clever and dealt with their problems well. The ML was very open with his love for our FL. Sure what is a drama without a misunderstanding? There is a small misunderstanding and the doubt of infidelity to the last few episodes but that gets cleared up too.


Acting:

The chemistry was fire!!!!!! Both of them were so good with each other. They make an excellent couple. Everyone was really good at portraying their own characters, including the villains. I really liked it.

I don't really rewatch much, but I would surely comeback for the burning chemistry and sweet moments.

Overall it was a very good drama and I feel like it is really underrated. I really recommend it to everyone who likes revenge plot and secret marriages. I had first hesitated to watch it, but I am so freaking glad I did. Please do watch it!

Friendly Revenge and Light Slap/Kiss and Rape Free

First of all I didn't expect any or more about this Drama cause many Ch7 Lakorn disappointed me with their Naive and Weak Female Lead so I am kinda surprised about this one cause I feel like I'm watching Jeerawat in Kluen Cheewit. I enjoyed this type of Drama and I'm a fan of Revenge.

Most Cheesiest Lakorn that I watched
Lol. It becomes cheesy on Episode 13 and It's okay cause I don't like how they cut the Romance on the past few Episodes like Palai's Imagination and it was very annoying. It was Okay if it's only twice but her imagination is very repetitive.

STORY (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞ Palai is a weak and naive girl who really loves her Parents until the Accident happens and change everything.She discovered that her Aunt was not sincere and causes her Parents to die. She becomes Strong and Vengeful person in order to take Revenge. The Story messed up with some Marriage stuff. They keep pushing Jan and Siwa to get married from the Start till the end even they already know that Siwa is married with Palai by law.

ACTING/CAST (☞ ಠ_ಠ)☞ The Acting is very good and they're just newbies. Bank's crying scenes was very amazing and I can see his improvement 5 years ago on Cubic. Pinkploy was very great also and she's not your typical newbie but have to say that She needs improvement on speaking she's talking very fast. The Supporting Actors did a great job especially Great(Thana). And my Favorite Senior Villain is here.

MUSIC (☞ ^ o ^) ☞ The Music isn't that special on the beginning but you will used to it and I did like it. I actually remember some lines or words in the Musics.

REWATCH VALUE (☞￣ᴥ￣)☞ I don't like Rewatching a Drama especially if it's a Revenge about Family and it was quite boring and draggy at some point so Yeah First time watching it is enough.

OVERALL (╭☞•́⍛•̀)╭☞ I think it was good enough to be produced and to have an remake I love it Overall. I will score it higher if it didn't mess up on the second half and if it didn't bored me to death. If you're planning to watch this then go just don't expect for something special in a Revenge Lakorn but expect for the great Chemistry between the Leads.

I liked it!

You would think it's your average revenge drama but honestly, it wasn't too bad, it was a classic with a twist, I liked that it was only toxic with the bad characters but not the main characters, it was of course over the top dramatic but other than that, it was a fast watch, easy and cute, I loved the chemistry!

The ML and FL already technically have a background with each other but they click, not on the best circumstances but I liked how easy it was for them to help each other out and love each other in a positive way. No rape, nothing too crazy, not a huge plot twist or not even TOO much drama if I do say so myself. It was like a baby slap and kiss and I thoroughly liked it.

The acting was fantastic, Pinkploy does not disappoint and neither does Bank, they had fantastic chemistry, nothing toxic at all, and even the bad characters weren't over the top horrible so all in all, great acting!

Music was there, I usually listen to it hard core but it did not stick out.

Overall, not a bad watch, I finished it within a day, I loved it, it was so good and cute!!

Revenge Drama with Fluff

What I like most is that the main leads have absolutely sweet moments pure fluff. But seriously the cousin who has a mental condition stole the scene.

The ML and FL have chemistry and I like how their story progressed. It was obvious from the start the ML is smitten with the FL but what I just don't understand is why she didn't tell him from the start that she became poor because of the aunt's schemes.

The father of the ML is an ass until the end I am so happy that the wife decided to leave and stay at the temple. He's a scumbag for killing the father of the FL's friend. I guess this one would have been a 10 for me if they did not separate at the last part.

Overall this is a good watch, I really like the cousin, saw her in So Wayree and you would hate her really. Lol.

One of my favorite lakorn and one of my favorite couples !

The romance, and okay I'm a sucker for a dick antihero but this ml made me swoon over his gentle but obsessed love for the fl from pretty much the beginning .

The plot is the perfect amount of angst and light moments just an overall engaging story and the plot twists keep you involved.

I feel like there were times when the fl could have been less manipulative to the sl like just keeping him around when she was in love with the ml but for some reason this show didn't give me sls lol maybe cause the main couple was just so ship worthy!

Of course I felt for both the boys though. They deserved better. Having hate and revenge on your agenda especially when you're that young isn't a great idea.

But seriously I just absolutely LOVE it

I must say,this has been a EXCITING ride!"Rahut Rissaya" is a lakhorn that aired in 2020 and is a remake of another version from 2007.It has all the tropes we find exciting and delivers awesome angst of revenge,passion,betrayal and a newfound love in the most unexpected way.It stars Pinkploy Paparwadee as the headstrong heiress Palai Wattanaphas and Bank Artit as the golden-hearted business tycoon Siwa Rattanarit.In the early start of this story Palai`s parents gets killed in a deliberate accident and Palai gets so furious with heartbreak when she realizes her relatives where the ones who caused their death that she decides to stoop to the lowest of points in her quest for vengeance against the ones who ruined her world.But in her quest for vengeance she has to use the one man who always secretly desired her-in which she blackmails Siwa into marrying her.Telling that Siwa was angry with this blackmail is a understatement.But soon Siwa and Palai join forces and together they fight for their happiness-and in mids of all this they find themselves falling more in love with each other.

This is a lakhorn that turns the tables and i enjoyed every minute of it!I love the storyline,although the last episode went a bit out of it with the way it added more and more unnecessary drama that i could have done without.Palai is a good hearted heroine who gets forced to turn her heart into ice as she fights every bit dirty against the enemies who wants her bad.She was so stubborn and brave that i rooted for her.I also love how the actress portrayed her so naturally.She executed sassyness,shyness and cuteness so well-and when she was angry...she was soooo angry LOL!

Bank Artit is a actor i have had my eyes on ever since i watched "Cubic" where he portrayed a supporting character and had so much charisma!It also helps with how handsome he is,LOL.I am glad he get leading roles nowadays since his acting is so startingly good!I love how he portrayed the noble and kindhearted Siwa.Siwa is not much like all other leading heroes.When Siwa loves,he loves with all his selfless soul.He could handle how Palai broke his heart all the time and left him bleeding.He would take a bullet for her,take flowers to her while she is working,even marry another woman he doesn`t love just to keep Palai safe,handle her betrayals even as far as thinking she could be pregnant with another man`s child he still loved her irrevocably.He said it himself,he is so crazy in love with her that his love only increases even after she hurts him.That`s so beautiful and romantic.I love Siwa so much!

Siwa and Palai are a beautiful couple that i want to visit again and again.Love their chemistry so much and i love how there was this awareness between them even from the start,although Palai tried to ignore it since she thought he was dating her cousin.Siwa`s father is a villain in this story and i felt so sorry for Siwa.His life literally turned hell when he realized all the stuff Palai told him about his father was true.I can`t imagine that kind of suffocating pain and anguish over knowing what kind of monster your own father are.Still,Siwa handled it in the best way he could and decided to still love his father despite it all.The fate of the snobby cousin and Palai`s aunt is really brutal but i can`t say i will miss them since they annoyed me throughout the story.I didn`t enjoy Thana`s character here much (which is weird since i loved him in "Prom Pisawat) since he was much unstable after his fathers death.I wish Siwa and Palai all the best with their second marriage and their newborn child!

A revenge storyline

Basically it's almost the same plot with many of revenge Thai dramas that I've watched before with so many family issues and using the FL or ML as a victim to their revenge things and turned that he/she will fall in love with them. But what I like about this drama is that the female character not so stupid and not like other FL that never fight back when they got hurt by others, in this drama the FL has strong character, even sometimes I got frustrated when she just let her husband being touched by other girls like.. "girl.. that's your hubby." But we'll.. I still interested in watching them cause of their visual and chemistry of the couple.

"RAHUT RISSAYA" If you want to watch it go ahead!!!

I was a little intrigue about this drama. I got a lot of notifications on my phone and e-mail about this. I did sneaked a little about this and see the previews. At first I hesitated but I dive into it. One of the reasons I got hooked because of the main antagonist I really like her a lot. I first saw her in "Marn Bang Jai" (please if you have time watch it!). And now I see her here in Rahut Rissaya I give it a go. About the story line yeah I get it... they hate each other they fall in love sh*t happen they broke up but in the end they still together (happy right??) But what I like about this drama is that the main female lead is not your typical sweet, innocent and naïve person. She is something if you slap her well be prepare to have bruise all over your face girl. She does not take shit. I like her because she knows when to be innocent and when to be feisty. About the male lead I got nothing to say but he's freaking h*t and handsome. He has a good acting skill (I'm searching for his other works and if I have a spare time I would watch it).
So much for that by the way I hate to say this but the female doctor is kind of annoying I mean her being too nosy makes me hate her character. Like if she like the guy better say it straight girl the nerve!
P.S they seem to rush the ending because I felt a little rush without explaining about it and they end it...
The OST of the drama is really good. I repeat it every time LOL.
Rematch value I think watching it one time is good enough if I repeat it it may end in disaster HAHA just joking.
If you want to watch it go ahead!!!

THANK YOU FOR READING @_@

Sweet and wholesome romance centered on retribution

So what's the password to your heart? Don't worry, the lakorn isn't as cheesy as the first sentence. Rahut Rissaya is a delightful and heartwarming love story centered on vengeance and retribution. I knew about RR since last year, but it isn't until this week that I decided to give it a try. I have to say that I regret putting it off for this long. It exceeded my expectations and delivered more!

STORY: 8/10
Palai, our heroine, lost her parents in a sudden and tragic car accident. Along with her parent's death, she also lost major shares in their company, leaving her almost powerless before her aunt who is determined to take back what she believes should be hers and her daughter's.

She then obtains important evidence on a powerful businessman from her longtime friend, Thana. She uses this information to blackmail Siwa, the tycoon's son who also happens to be the man her cousin loves, into marrying her and paying her dowry. Desperate to know the truth about his father's crimes and misdeeds, Siwa agrees. Palai gradually gives him codes/passwords to access the files, but she refuses to give him the password to the last file.

Palai finds her way back up to claim what's rightfully hers, while Siwa tries to compensate for what his father did in the past. As they live together, Palai and Siwa fall in love and ease each other's griefs.

I have watched a couple lakorns from Ch3 and Ch7, and I could confidently say that Rahut Rissaya is one of the few that had an impact on me. Unlike in most lakorns, the FL isn't a damsel in distress who constantly needs saving; she saves and knows how to protect herself. She is independent, smart and strong willed. On the other hand, the ML is very gentle and sweet. His love for Palai is consistent, powerful and sincere. And although he loves his father with all his heart and stays by his side until the end, he doesn't do so by compromising what's right.

Although the plot could be inconsistent at times, it was engaging and interesting nonetheless. I agree that the misunderstanding in the last two episodes was a little absurd, but I didn't mind it because I found it somehow entertaining. The ending though was a little too abrupt. It wasn't terrible but it certainly could have been better.

ACTING/CAST: 9.5/10
I loved Bank in Panthakan Rak and his acting has improved a lot since then. He is so good! He's a natural. He delivered his crying scenes so well that I couldn't help but cry with him. Pinkploy is equally impressive. Although I'm not that familiar with her acting, she surprised me with her performance. Both of our leads are splendid actors. None of their scenes was overdone or lacking; everything was done just right. It's true that they could have been better at the intimate scenes but I personally didn't mind. The supporting characters were good as well, but I especially liked Great and Kookik. Their characters were frustrating at times (Thana acting pathetic and Jan going berserk), but they still managed to evoke sympathy from me.

MUSIC: 9/10
I love the OSTs! I also like that one song that plays when Thana cries over Palai. It makes my heart break for him.

REWATCH VALUE: 8.5/10
I wouldn't watch the whole thing again, but I will definitely come back for Palai and Siwa's scenes! They're simply the best thing in this lakorn. Definitely one of my favorite lakorn couples.

Overall, I loved it. Rahut Rissaya's plot isn't overwhelmingly impressive. It is simple yet different and refreshing. The leads, of course, have their own faults but they are always willing to forgive and compromise. Even though I liked it, I have to say that you can't really expect anything from the cinematography and editing. They didn't even change the settings that much. Most part of the story happened in the houses and companies of Palai and Siwa lol. Who needs aesthetics anyway when Siwa and Palai are enough reasons to keep watching? ;>

one of worth watching lakorn!

I can tell that this lakorn is funny, sad, and full of fluffy scenes (but there's a few fighting scenes as well)? i love the way ML being clingy towards FL and the FL doesn't push him harder (cause I've seen many lakorns where the FL drives the ML away as if he's filthy). Both main leads have a good chemistry and they bring the show perfectly. the ML's very cute, and so is the FL. Regardless of what ML did for the sake of his father, I just like how he can't let go of the FL that easily (at a certain time when FL thinks of giving up on him).
On the other hand, I agree that sometimes those misunderstandings in lakorn/other dramas are useless and yet kinda glad they only gave it around 2 eps here (but damn it's taking so long)?‍?
however, I still recommend you guys to watch it! it's sucha lovely thai drama for me ahaha
